Hauling Mom's Christmas Tree with My Pro Street '67 Firebird: Finnegan's Garage Ep.122

[@FinnegansGarage]

My mom saw the video and read everyone's comments and wanted me to post this on her behalf: To all of Michael's wonderful friends of Finnegan's Garage who enjoyed my Christmas tree experience. I wish to thank each and every one of you for your kind words of sympathy and your funny comments that made me laugh. I wish you the most wonderful Christmas ever, and a healthy and safe New Year. Mom

[@darthrevan2063]

WAIT when did that happen?

[@LoganGibson]

Love your mom telling you to put your hearing protection on.

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

Logan Gibson That's because no matter how old we get Mom's still see us as their kids and they feel the need to tell us to be safe. Mine just did that today. Just an update. I lost my Mom a little while back she had a brain aneurysm. If I could hear her tell me just once more what I needed to do it would be great. I miss you more everyday Mom.

[@dhepp2008]

@Kyle Smith he knew it wouldn't have done any good to argue or talk back..
